Hall of Fame
By winning today, Djokovic joins Federer, McEnroe, and Lendl as the only players to reach at least the semifinals of the U.S. Open for four consecutive years.

If Federer wins tonight, he will have reached at least the semifinals of the U.S. Open for 7 consecutive years. This would be the third different grand slam that he has achieved this feat. To put in context of how remarkable this, consider that there have only been two other players in history who have reached 7 consecutive semifinals at the same grand slam. Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl achieved this once in their career, both at the U.S. Open.
